I am so pleased to Chimamanda win this award for Half of a Yellow Sun. I enjoyed the book immensely and have recommended to my book club. I think every Black person should read this book to get an indepth understanding of what the Biafran War was all about. I know I found it very enlightening. I'm also very pleased to have discovered this blog and have added it to my favorites.

We are also so glad about her win. It's just great. I had read her short story Half of a Yellow Sun(before it became a novel) in Zoetrope All Story and instantly knew it was something superb. Thanks for the photos.

Am so incredibly happy for Chimamanda.When i heard she had won the orange prize, I cried. Her triumph is also mine, she gives folks like me hope to do what we do.Half of A Yellow Sun tells an amazing story that needed to be told.Am proud of Chimamanda, I am very proud of her.

About Me

I am a writer and arts journalist now based in Lagos. This is a blog on arts and culture. The focus is on Nigeria's art scene, especially her 'Word's Body' - the writers. As and when, we'll also touch on wider African writing, as well as international literature. In short, a saturation of the arts.
